EDITORS COMMENTS
In Dixie Land, 1899: A Portrait of a Musical Gentleman by Jay Campbell Phillips Step back in time to the late 19th century with this portrait of an African American banjo player, captured by the skilled lens of Jay Campbell Phillips. The image, titled "In Dixie Land," transports us to a simpler era, where the melodic strains of jazz and the soothing rhythms of the banjo held sway over the hearts and minds of people. The man in the photograph is dressed in the fashion of the day, with a dark overcoat and a neatly pressed dress shirt and trousers. His attire is complemented by a striped bow tie and a jaunty fedora, which sits atop his head at a rakish angle. The banjo, a musical instrument deeply rooted in African American culture, rests comfortably on his lap, its strings taut and ready to produce music. This photograph, a beautiful example of halftone photomechanical prints, was taken at a time when African Americans were beginning to assert their presence in American society. The image is a testament to the resilience and creativity of a community that faced numerous challenges but continued to find joy and solace in music. The portrait is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a renowned institution in New York City that preserves and celebrates the history and culture of people of African descent. The image is also part of the vast collection of the New York Public Library, a treasure trove of historical and cultural artifacts that tell the story of America's rich and diverse past.
